To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Brainpower by NOMA. The bassline is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of music theory most of the rhythms will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also the singer's synthwave outlook, which is deftly woven into their vocalization - their personal philosophy draws heavily from Eurobeat and future bass songs, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these melodies, to realize that they're not just danceable- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Brainpower truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the catchiness of NOMA's solemn soliloquy "O-oooooooooo AAAAE-A-A-I-A-U," which itself is a cryptic reference to Funimation's Japanese epic Love Live! I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Twitch's genius unfolds itself on their streaming platforms. What fools... how I pity them.
